The Friday Five: Halle Berry

The Friday Five: 
Halle Berry
Halle Berry is one of today's most acclaimed actresses, someone who's versatile enough to handle any type of genre and really excel at it.  With her next film "John Wick: Chapter 3" being released, I took a look at my personal top five favorite Halle Berry films.



**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**




#5
 The Call
In this tense thriller, Halle Berry stars as a 911 operator whose mistake cost a young girl her life, and now sets out to right her wrong by helping another female who's been kidnapped escape from her captor.  Berry gives a strong performance and showcases both vulnerability and determination to not let the mistakes of the past affect the outcome of her future.











#4
 Swordfish
In this thriller, Halle Berry stars as a no-nonsense femme fatale who works for John Travolta's character Gabriel Shear, who's planning on stealing nine billion dollars through a computer worm.  Berry is tough as nails, and gives a fearless performance alongside greats like Travolta, Hugh Jackman, and Don Cheadle.










#3
 Cloud Atlas
It was a huge undertaking, and not without its risks.  "Cloud Atlas" centers around several actors (including Berry and Tom Hanks) whose characters span five centuries and tells a love story as strong as anything you could imagine.  Filled with tremendous performances, stellar effects and one-of-a-kind transformations, this epic is truly worth seeing, and Berry gives a stellar performance.











#2
 X2: X-Men United
Before the MCU made superhero movies something worth seeing, other franchises tried their hand to make something successful.  The X-Men franchise has had its ups and downs, but one of the best in the series is "X2," where Halle Berry plays the X-Man Storm.  She performs with high action prowess but also gives Storm an emotional center that made her a compelling character.











#1
 Monster's Ball
The film that earned Halle Berry her first Academy Award, "Monster's Ball" focuses on broken people coming together, but secrets could also rip them apart.  Co-starring Billy Bob Thornton and Heath Ledger, "Monster's Ball" solidified Halle Berry as a Hollywood A-lister, and proves that she's one of this generation's best actresses.

GOAT Starring Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, Aaron Pierre, David Harbour Directed by Tyree Dillihay Being not a big fan of sports, even I know what it means to be the G.O.A.T. - the Greatest Of All Time. There's been a lot of debate especially in the basketball world over who is the true G.O.A.T. - Michael Jordan or LeBron James - and I absolutely have no opinion on it. Getting back to the movie, it could be titled either GOAT or G.O.A.T. since it has two different characters who embody those terms: a literal goat, and a panther wishing to be the G.O.A.T. in an animal-like version of basketball. While the animation is top notch, and the characters are expertly voiced, it's still a basic story of an underdog team rising the ranks to become the best. Ever since he was young, Will Harris (Caleb McLaughlin), an American Pygmy goat, wishes to join the Vineland Thorns roarball team, and become the G.O.A.T. after idolizing longtime player and all-star Jett Fillmore (Gabrielle Unio...
